A Call to the People: Defend Our Republic on Independence Day

My Fellow Americans,

The United States of America stands on the brink. The Constitution—the foundation of our democracy—is being trampled. The rule of law, the checks and balances that once protected us from tyranny, have been dismantled. The very institutions meant to serve the people have been hijacked by a religious authoritarian regime that does not recognize limits to its power.

On this Fourth of July, the day we celebrate our nation’s birth and our hard-won freedoms, we must come together—not just to remember our history, but to take action to save our future. We, the People, must rise.

The Crisis We Face

Donald Trump is not just an authoritarian. He is not just a threat to democracy. He is following the blueprint of history’s worst dictators.

These are not the actions of a democratically elected leader. These are the actions of a dictator.

Trump Became President to Escape Prison

Trump’s long history of crimes—going back to the 1970s, from financial fraud to sexual assault—has been well-documented and proven in a court of law.

Trump never ran for president to serve the people. He ran for president to serve himself. He ran to escape justice, silence prosecutors, and abuse the powers of the presidency to shield himself from prison. And Congress has allowed him to get away with it.

Congress Has Betrayed the People

Every senator and representative swore an oath to defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. Yet instead of fulfilling that oath, they have chosen complicity over courage, power over principle, corruption over country.

Their refusal to act in defense of democracy is nothing short of treason. It is the betrayal of every American who still believes in the ideals of this republic. It is an abdication of duty so profound that history will remember them not as leaders, but as cowards who paved the way for tyranny.

Since Congress refuses to act, then the responsibility falls to us.

No One Is Coming to Save Us

For too long, we’ve waited for someone else to fix this. We’ve looked to Congress, to the courts, to the media, and even to our most powerful and influential celebrities—yet they have done nothing.

Lucas, Spielberg, Jordan, Winfrey, Jay-Z, Kardashian, Swift, Rihanna, Perry, LeBron, Jackson, Woods, Wolf, Johnson. All billionaires. All doing nothing to fight this evil. They have power. They have resources. And yet they are just as complicit in their inaction as those who openly support Trump.

No one is coming to save us. If we want our democracy back, we must take it ourselves.

A Peaceful Uprising

On July 4, 2025, we call on every patriot, every defender of democracy, and every person who believes in freedom to march on Washington, D.C. in numbers so overwhelming that the entire world will see that the American people reject tyranny.

If Trump, his administration, and his enablers refuse to step down, we will shut this country down.

We make this clear:

Donald Trump must leave office. The Vice President must leave office. Every senator, representative, and official who enabled this regime—who voted against democracy, who stood silent as Trump dismantled our institutions, who betrayed the people—must leave office.

Until every last one of these traitors is gone, we will not work. We will not comply. We will not stop.

Veritas Super Omnia

When this national nightmare is finally behind us, the first order of business for the new government must be to call a Constitutional Convention whose process is outlined in Article V.

A new Constitution must:

This will not be just a change in leadership—it must be a rebirth of democracy itself.

We Are the Last Line of Defense

Our forefathers fought tyranny not because it was easy, but because it was necessary.

July 4, 2025: Washington, D.C. Stand for freedom. Stand for democracy. Stand for America.

And if our voices are ignored, we will not return to work. We will not contribute to a system that has been stolen from us. We will bring the nation to a standstill until democracy is restored.

It’s time to choose: America or tyranny.
